SouthernStyle Buttermilk Chicken Marinade

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine buttermilk, beaten egg, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

2. 2

   Place the chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

3. 3

   Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it is completely covered. Seal the bag or cover the dish. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for even more flavor.

4. 4

   After marinating, remove the chicken breast from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.

5. 5

   Prepare your deep frying setup by heating oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pan or fryer.

6. 6

   In a separate shallow dish, prepare your southern-style coating. You can use a mixture of flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breast evenly with the seasoned flour mixture.

7. 7

   Carefully place the coated chicken breast into the hot oil, using tongs or a slotted spoon. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Make sure the oil is hot enough to ensure a crispy exterior.

8. 8

   Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

9. 9

   Serve the southern-style buttermilk chicken hot and crispy! It pairs well with coleslaw, mashed potatoes, or cornbread.
